what have you always wanted to try....

I got a couple of Speedo items that did not make the cut years back. One was for men, but looked like a female one-piece, with a rear zipper. I could not do the zipper, so I hooked an over-the-neck ID badge holder to the zipper and closed it using the cord. Could unhook it if I desired. Sort of like a wet suit cord.

Really, no one else ever have a want for some lycra item they never received?

I have a few singlets, and I really love wearing them around the house and for sleeping. I also have some speedos, jammers and compression shorts.

Things I'd like to try but haven't yet are football pants and a gymnastics leotard. Does anyone have any recommendations for these?

[singletlover]

I bought a gymnastic leotard from GK Gymnastics. Looking now on their site they offer compression shirts. No mention of a leotard. Looking at other sites they picture only to upper body so you do not get a real feel for the product. They got to buy them somewhere. I can also say football pants are very hot, you will love them.

I have some football pants I use for stationary rowing in the wintertime. I love the tie-up lace front and the belt with the twin rings. Just getting into them is fun. Plus they fit really snug. Sometimes I wear them over running tights, and maybe a strap, with or without a cup, under that. Doing the lace tie ups over the cup is, well, interesting. I understand part of the appeal of playing football.

I've also thought about getting a trisuit. I've tried bike shorts and didn't really like so much padding in the crotch. Does a trisuit have less padding?

I'd want an inexpensive one though since it would primarily be for wearing around the house. I can't justify spending upwards of $100 for something like that.

A tri-suit is just like a wrestling singlet, but usually with padding. Not as much padding as bile shorts however. The wrestling singlet will give you the same feel and a lot cheaper. Even local sporting good stores have them in stock.

Eastbay has/had skin suits that are well made and on the cheaper cost side. Still have several. UPDATE Just looked and they seem to have stopped selling them. Their singlets were on sale however.

If you need help locating some please let me know.

If you want to try one - get one. You can wear it around the house, to sleep in, under jeans so the top appears as a tank top or wear it as fun wear with that special someone special

I have a red and turquoise tri suit made in 1987. It has a thin pad made of fabric as opposed to real or fake chamois. The fabric tri suit pad is much quicker drying than a cycle shorts pad.
The triathlete has to swim first and gets onto his bike while still wet. His body weight on the saddle will squeeze out some water then his body heat will dry out the suit and pad.
The suit has to be comfortable while running in the third section of the race, a thick pad would get in the way of free running action. My tri suit has zips up the sides of the legs allowing extra fabric behind the zips to open up making the legs looser for the running section.

Iv'e always wanted to try on a full body covering singlet with a long back zipper. Well, I got to wear a shiny white lycra one with a back zipper when asked to join my cousin and friends in a what is known as a playful wrestling match. That full body singlet fit me very well and liked wearing it even when told that if I lost the match, my singlet will be stripped off while pinned down on the wrestling mat. it was quite a surprise for me and noticed how well the other guy's boners were outlined
in their singlets of various styles including a few guys wearing full body covering singlets. My match was with a rather strong and husky young guy in a very tight singlet, It was fun for both of us until he had me pinned down on my stomach and soon won the match while saying to me "were not finished yet." then slowly unzipping the long back zipper on my tight fitting singlet, despite all my kicking and squirming to get free from his grip. That singlet certainly felt so good and hoped he wasn't going to get it off me, but to no avail, as he freed my arms from the long clinging spandex sleeves, then peeling it down my upper torso while the other guys would cheer loudly seeing him peeling the tight clinging singlet off my squirming body. Soon he had me naked when he had the shiny white full body singlet unsnugged from my very excited lowers with the other guys watching my plight with joy. That was the only and last time I wore a full body singlet and what I always wanted to try on, yet not under those circumstances, despite all the fun we all had while playful wrestling.
